CHILDCARE ASSISTANCE & TRAINING (FOR PARENTS)
Through Regional Child Care Resources & Referral program, Guilford Child Development assists families with finding childcare for children of all ages, income levels and ethnic groups. We also assist families with identifying scholarships to help cover the cost of child care.
FIND CHILD CARE
Whether you are a working parent, stay-at-home parent, caregiver, or student living in Guilford, Randolph or Rockingham Counties, finding the right type of quality child care is critical. Let Regional Child Care Resources & Referral (RCCR&R) of Children & Families First assist you with finding childcare that is right for your child and your schedule — full-time, part-time, days, evenings, overnights, weekend or summer. Our services are free of charge, and we can help you find quality licensed child care for children ages 0 to 12, regardless of your needs. Our Child Parent Counselors are available from 8:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M. Monday through Friday to speak with you about your childcare needs – (800) 289-5098.
